It's numeric code is 42312.

You can suppress this warning only globally in VB .NET. You need to manually edit project .vbproj file.

Close VS.

Open .vbproj file. Find <NoWarn> tag and add the warning ID there. In our case the ID is 42312: <NoWarn>42312</NoWarn>. Don’t place any whitespaces and newlines in this tag! There is one <NoWarn> section for each configuration (Release/Debug) so you need to edit all of them.

Save the .vbproj file and open VS.

After this, you shouldn’t get specified warnings during the build, nor should you see warning underline during editing.

A few years ago, we gave a test to several products to document our source code. We finally chose VSdocman mostly because it was easy to use, from within the development environment, making training of programmers useless. It provides flexible features which enables producing complete documentation for people using our products and also for internal use. When technical support is required (we needed this when switching to VS 2015), Peter answered our emails very quickly. After more than 3 years with VSdocman, we strongly recommend the product which is amazingly easier to use than SandCastle.
